- Added support for new tags:
+ Optinal feed image: <image> tag.
+ Dublin core dates: <dc:date> <dcterms:created>, <dcterms:issued>,
<dcterms:modified>.
- Usability improvements:
+ On the administration page, made the feed/bundle titles link
to the feeds/bundles' pages. On the feed/bundle's page, made
the 'Last updated' field link to the administration page.
+ Moved the 'syndication' menu one level down.
- Updated some content sensitive help.
- Further improved themeability.
- Fixed some invalid HTML.
+ Added some a new theme fucntions to the aggregator to make it possible to
theme the aggregator page.
+ Removed the <table> and much hardcoded CSS as well as theme("box")-es.
+ Added the aggregator's theme functions to Doxygen's themeable group.
+ Added breadcrumb trails to the aggregator pages.
+ Updated the core themes to take advantages of the improved themeability.

Contributed themes and modules need to be updated:
- modules: status() is no more; use drupal_set_message() instead.
- themes: use drupal_get_message() to check for status messages and
visualize them.
- Usability improvements to the user module: removed some redundant menu
items by taking advantage of the column sorting, added status messages
and so on. Patch by Moshe plus some fixes.
- Made the profile module use the table() function. Patch by Moshe.
- Fixed breadcrumb spacing. Patch by Moshe.
- Fixed colspan problem with node overview table. Patch by Stefan.
- Fixed inconsistency with table sorting. Patch 0122 by Al.
+ Fixed CSS to use the same format as the rest of drupal.css.
+ Added fallback routine for menu icons.
+ Fixed anonymous users not seeing the menu.
+ Added proper access checks for admin and help menu items.
- Made sure the 'Topic' title is only shown above the topics, not the icons.
- Automatically shorten the username when it is too long. I implemented this
as part of format_name() and could therefore nuke some code in the
statistics module. This is change is somewhat experimental and I'm willing
to revert or change this if a number of people aren't too happy with this
behavior.
- Left align the dates and authors: makes it easier/faster to scan.
- Made the little tablesort arrows clickable.
PostgreSQL and MSSQL database scheme as well.
- Made sure the update script updates the correct tables when database
prefixing is enabled. Patch by Bart Jansens.
- Improved the breadcrumb navigation of the book and the forum module as per
Keith Instone's suggestions.
- Updated page titles (or block titles) and links to match. Suggested by
Keith Instone.
- Added missing 'thread' field to the comment table of the MySQL database scheme.
Fixes bug #2590.
Wittens.
- Renamed some column titles in the forum module as per Moshe's suggestion.
- Introduced a 'more-link' class to position the 'more' links. Removed
hard-coded markup from the modules.
- Fixed bug in import module: the theme functions called a non-existing
function.
2) Beautified the forum module views; rewritten to use the table() rendering functions, X HTML-ified the emitted code, added additional CSS tags, and removed hard-coded markup. This improves themeabality; it should be able to mimic the view and color scheme of, say, http://www.phpbb.com/.
3) Reorganized forms and links (interactive elements) to improve usability. Also ensured that the link names and page titles match.
4) Temporary removed container functionality: this simplified the work and eliminated some usability issues.
- Improvement: some small changes to the user module to ease translation and to make things slightly more consistent. This should be a better alternative for patch #54.
- Improvement: increase the maxlength of the node title. This should fix bug #2018 and #2176.
Gerhard.
- Improvement: CSS improvements. Patch #40 by Al.
(TODO: we might be able to simplify admin.css now both drupal.css and
admin.css are included to render administration pages. Tags like "body"
and friends can probably be inherited.)
- Improvement: renamed some theme functions of the forum module for sake of consistency/readability. Patch #2 by Kristjan.
- Improvement: usability improvements to the Xtemplate theme. Patch #3 by Kristjan.
- Improvement: CSS'ified the book module pages. Patch #3 by Al. (I simplified the "l
ocation" part. Al's approach gave you a bit more power but I'm not sure anyone wants
to change that. Besides, this will change as soon we integrate the menu system so I kept it easy for now.)
- Bugfix: fixed the defaults for blocks in database.mssql so the NOT NULL fields get values. Patch by Kjartan.
- Bugfix: changed check_form() to use htmlspecialchars() instead of drupal_specialchars() as this caused Drupal to emit incorrect form items in presence of quotes. Example:
<input type="submit" class="form-submit" name="op" value="Submit "top nodes" block changes" />
IMO, drupal_specialchars() is better called xmlspecialchars() to avoid confusion.
- Bugfix: when an anonymous user visits a site, they shouldn't see any content (except the login block, if it is enabled) unless they have the "access content" permissions. Patch by Matt Westgate.
- Improvement: improved the error checking and the error messages in the profile module. Updated the code to match the Drupal coding conventions. Modified patch from Matt Westgate.
- Improvement: don't generate the <base href=""> tag in the base theme; it is already emitted by theme_head(). Patch by Kristjan.
- Improvement: don't execute any SQL queries when checking the permissions of user #1. Patch by Kjartan.
- Improvement: made a scalable layout form that works in IE and that behaves better with narrow themes. Part of patch #51 by Al.
- Improvement: removed some redundant print statements from the comment module. Modified patch from Craig Courtney.
- Fixed the "blog it" image size. Patch #49 by Al.
- Some SQL performance improvements to the forum module. This should also be more PostgreSQL safe. Patch by me.
